We’ve chronicled some of the highlights from New Horizons’ first year in this timeline. Those unprecedented numbers make it the second highest-selling game on the Switch, trailing only Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and dwarf the most recent main entry, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which sold just over 12 million copies on the 3DS. The updates and the game’s popularity have made it a huge success, selling more than 30 million copies since launch. For many players, New Horizons became more of a place than a game. Nintendo has continually added new content and events to the game, and the community gave birth to a number of fun, hilarious, and even political moments throughout the year. The game wasn’t only fun on day one, though. Ahead of the game’s launch last March, producer Hisashi Nogami told The Verge that he hoped players would be able to “use this as an escape.” And in a year filled with challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, New Horizons’ colorful island and charming animal friends proved to be exactly that, offering a much-needed respite from the difficulties of the real world. It might be hard to believe, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons celebrates its first anniversary this week.
